Meal Timing Restructure Switching from 3 large meals to 5-6 smaller eating occasions requires planning but produces better tolerance and more consistent energy: Plan meals at 7am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm, 7pm, and optionally 9pm
Steady State Timeline by Dose Level These timelines follow the lexicon standard titration (2mg to 4mg to 8mg to 12mg, every 4 weeks) combined with the 4-to-5-week steady-state rule
